I bought a 3DS XL sometimes last year. It was under $200.
After seeing the surge in demand, I feel lucky that I bought it when I did. I also decided to take it out and play some animal crossing new leaf for the first time and I’m really enjoying it.
I sometimes wonder if I should have bought the “new” variant back then, but they were much more expensive and I’m still not sure if the performance improvements would have been worth it.
I’m basically just using not for ds and 3ds games, so, I’m guessing the power difference would not really matter.
Yes, here they are in release order
DS - original Ds light - slimmer version Dsi &dsi xl - removed ability to play gba games, added cameras and some exclusive. I think the exclusives for this were just a few and nothing notable, but I could be wrong. Also xl has a bigger screen.
3ds- next gen ds with 3d screen. 2ds & 3ds xl - 2 ds gets rid of the 3d screen to save cost and xl version is larger. New 2ds and 3ds - better hardware, but not a new gen. There are a very few exclusive games for it like Minecraft. Added a second joystick on the right side for camera control in some games.

Don’t have to spend money to learn stuff. Let people have their hobbies.

O Arbiter of what is appropriate to know, what shall be deemed appropriate for these people to know?
Tell us what is appropriate to know, for clearly we are misguided and you are the last Arbiter of appropriate knowledge!

Seeing as how you’re some sort of hardware tech, I bet the money I splash out on clothes would leave you bewildered. Likewise, sure, I use Linux, but only cause I want something reliable. I don’t fuck with it. I spend my money looking how I want to look.
Fuckin’ let people enjoy the things they enjoy. :/

You know shit about computers? Fuckin’ nerd. That’s an obsession.
You know what a hobby is? A hobby is what I like and enjoy, not you. Yours are obsessions, mine are hobbies.
It was actually a career, which earned me money, up until Windows 8 came out and I said fuck that. There’s a difference between an obsession and a career, one wastes time, the other makes money.
I was the data backup guy. Wonder why I got terabytes of all sorts of stuff?

We’ll manage.

I only ever bought a 3ds xl and 4 games for it in total. Mario kart, Mario land and 2 pokemon games.
So I can know this because I can read.
